History

Brazilian Ransomware was first discovered in 2016 by security researchers. It is a variant of the Locky ransomware and uses the same methods of infection and encryption.The most famous Brazilian Ransomware attack occurred in 2017 when the Brazilian Ministry of Health was targeted. The ransomware encrypted the ministry's servers and demanded a ransom of $50,000 in Bitcoin.

How does it work?

Brazilian Ransomware works by encrypting files using a strong AES-256 encryption algorithm. It will then display a ransom note demanding payment to decrypt the files. This ransomware is very dangerous and can cause a lot of financial damage to its victims.

What types of files does Brazilian Ransomware encrypt?

Brazilian Ransomware encrypts a variety of file types, including office documents, images, and videos.
